What is 180°C in Fahrenheit?
180°C equals 356°F.
Oven Temperature Conversion Chart
This quick oven temperature conversion chart helps when recipe instructions and oven dials use different units. Many US recipes list Fahrenheit while metric recipes use Celsius, so having both side by side makes baking and roasting simpler. You can scan common settings like 180°C (356°F) and 200°C (392°F) without stopping to do math. For focused single-value conversions, use What is 180°C in Fahrenheit? and What is 200°C in Fahrenheit?. If you want more oven tools, visit the kitchen oven hub. Keep in mind that home ovens vary, so an oven thermometer can still help with consistency.
Common Oven Temperatures
| Celsius (°C) | Fahrenheit (°F) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 120°C | 250°F | Very low / slow |
| 140°C | 285°F | Low |
| 160°C | 320°F | Low-moderate |
| 170°C | 338°F | Moderate |
| 175°C | 347°F | Moderate |
| 180°C | 356°F | Moderate |
| 190°C | 374°F | Moderate-hot |
| 200°C | 392°F | Hot |
| 220°C | 428°F | Hot |
| 230°C | 446°F | Very hot |
| 240°C | 464°F | Very hot |
| 250°C | 482°F | Very hot |
How to use this chart in real cooking
Use this chart as a fast cross-check when your oven dial and recipe use different units. For example, if a recipe says 375°F and your oven is in Celsius, you can set about 190°C instead of interrupting prep to calculate manually. The same pattern works in reverse for metric recipes written at 180°C, 200°C, or 220°C when your oven uses Fahrenheit.
In home kitchens, exact math is helpful but oven behavior still varies by model, rack position, and airflow. As a practical rule, use the chart value first, then adjust by 5°C (or 10°F) based on browning speed and doneness cues. This keeps your process consistent without over-correcting after each bake.
- Start with the nearest chart value, then watch texture and color in the final third of cook time.
- For fan/convection ovens, reducing by about 20°C is a common starting adjustment.
- When scaling recipes, keep the same temperature first and adjust only time unless the recipe explicitly says otherwise.
- If results are inconsistent across batches, verify true oven temperature with an oven thermometer.

Why do oven temperatures vary?
Oven calibration, airflow, rack position, and bakeware can all affect real cooking temperature and browning.
